What are Reporting Guidelines?

Reporting guidelines are checklists or other types of tools for reporting health research.

“A reporting guideline provides a minimum list of information needed to ensure a manuscript can be …

Understood by a reader,

Replicated by a researcher,

Used by a doctor to make a clinical decision, and

Included in a systematic review” (Equator Network, n.d.).

They “are designed to enhance the quality and transparency of health research reporting ” (VonVille, 2020) and ensure that the published manuscript is reporting the outcomes that the research was designed to measure.
